Mapping mismanaged plastic waste in Indonesia: subdistrict-level analysis through material flow from sources to the environment

Researchers found that Indonesia produces over 9 million tons of plastic waste each year, with more than 1 million tons ending up directly in rivers, drains, and illegally dumped on land.
